Chapter 321: I do not hold grudges, I absolutely will not blow you all up

Atop the walls of Changancheng.

Wu Zhao gazed far into the distance toward the direction of the Chu army's main camp, her noble face, illuminated by the night, carrying a hint of tension.

"Your Majesty, there is a mosquito on you. May I help you swat it?"

Gao Yang glanced at the mosquito that had been hovering near Wu Zhao's chest and, in the end, could not hold back.

This mosquito truly deserved to die!

Wu Zhao glanced at Gao Yang, her face turning even colder.

"You may!"

"But if you fail to swat it, I shall swat you!"

"How about that?"

Wu Zhao's voice was icy, devoid of even a shred of emotion.

What time did he think it was? Gao Yang actually still had the leisure to care about a mosquito!

His mental fortitude was even better than hers, an Emperor!

"I am curious, are the hearts of you capitalists all this large?"

Wu Zhao could not help but ask.

Her phoenix eyes stared straight at Gao Yang.

Gao Yang was completely calm, gazing into the distance. "Do one's best and leave the rest to fate. Everything I, your subject, should have done, I have already done."

"Worrying will not change the outcome, so it is better to wait a while longer."

Wu Zhao took another look at Gao Yang. She took a deep breath, feeling that these words also made a lot of sense!

At this moment, the hundred officials could no longer sit still.

It was currently the eighth month; the night was not only sweltering but also filled with mosquitoes. Wu Zhao had issued an order to drag them to the walls of Changancheng to enjoy the grand show within the Chu army's camp.

But now, they hadn't seen any grand show, yet they had fed quite a few mosquitoes.

"Your Majesty, the hour is late. Your Dragon Body is paramount. How could there be any grand show in the Chu army's camp?"

"I implore Your Majesty to return to the palace to rest."

Xu Xuanji could no longer hold back.

He stepped out and spoke slowly to Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao's expression darkened. She was still waiting here, yet the court officials were already impatient. This reminded her of how, as soon as the situation improved, there would be a crowd of memorials requesting negotiations with Great Chu.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to reprimand them.

Suddenly!

Boom!

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion struck!

Immediately following, flames erupted, sweeping through the entire Chu Kingdom camp!

A wave of commotion was visible to the naked eye, and there were even the neighs of warhorses!

Wu Zhao looked forward, her eyes filled with shock and wild joy!

"It succeeded!"

"Old General Lu Zhen succeeded!"

Wu Zhao's face was filled with delight.

The civil and military officials of Da Qian also widened their eyes, looking toward the direction of the Chu army's camp, filled with disbelief and horror!

They widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost!

They had never heard this heaven-piercing explosion before!

But looking at it like this, it seemed their Da Qian surprise attack had succeeded?

"Your Majesty, this, this, this..."

Xu Xuanji was so shocked he could not speak.

This explosion sound, he found it quite familiar.

Lu Wen, Cui Xinghe, and others were also filled with horror, their faces written with shock. They associated this with the grand show Wu Zhao had mentioned and could not help but speak.

"Your Majesty, was this brought about by our Da Qian?"

Gao Yang silently retreated a step, intending to keep a low profile.

This limelight still had to be given to Wu Zhao.

This was what one called awareness!

Wu Zhao stood straight, her face full of gratification. She also clenched her fists, filled with excitement.

All of this had actually succeeded!

Gao Yang had truly done it!

And looking from afar, the power and effect seemed to be unexpectedly good!

"Not bad. Tonight, I dispatched Old General Lu Zhen with a surprise force to raid the Chu Kingdom camp. The results are remarkable. How is this grand show? Are you ministers satisfied?"

Wu Zhao's gaze swept pointedly across the faces of the civil officials who wanted to negotiate!

The meaning was self-evident!

The faces of Lu Wen and the other civil officials turned green.

This was like a massive slap, fiercely striking their faces!

The sense of foreboding in Xu Xuanji's heart grew even thicker. He carefully asked, "This explosion sound is..."

"This object is called a grenade, filled with gunpowder and iron shards. It was created recently by Gao Yang of the Duke of State Prefecture. Its power is enough to blow the Chu army to the heavens!"

As these words fell.

The hundred officials looked in unison at Gao Yang! ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
